Tree (Remastered)

by Munch

about

Norwegian cult band MUNCH was formed in Kristiansand in late 1986 by Ivar Mykland, Rich Nordskog, Alf Solbakken and Lars Årdal, with Rune Bergstø joining a few months later. They released the albums Munch (1987, remix 1988), Excessive Mobility (1990) and Tree (1991) plus some obscure tapes while active. Their final show in Oslo in 1991 was released as Live the year after, followed by the double cassette compilation Moments Of Movement.

TREE was Munch's magnum opus, originally released on T23 in 1991. The album is a mix of favourites such as "Car", "Addicted" and "Strangle" and more experimental works like the over 20 minute long closing track "Black Star". Remastered from the original tapes by Lars Årdal. Comes in gatefold sleeve with new design/layout by Alf Solbakken.
